Unlike my Marantz 11 series (SC-11S1, SM-11S1 and SA-11S2), this Marantz is not double boxed. Unfortunately somebody punched a hole on the side of the carton (not pictured). I am guessing whoever did this done this to make it easier to handle the box. I am not sure I like that as some audiophiles may want to have the box in pristine condition. And also they may have done some real damage to the electronics!

Nice little box:

The world has certainly created more logos in a decade. Honestly been a decade since I last purchased a HT equipment I am ashamed to say I have no idea what some of these are.

‘Made for iPod, iPhone, iPad’. No Android references anywhere. This will bite me somehow, I can just feel it.
